This time i talk about a cool little game called "Solar 2".
It's an space game placed in an infinite universe that's being randomly generated every time you play it.
Now, this is when it becomes more interesting.
All sorts of missions become available to you. Some of them are (I don't remember the exact names) "destroy only asteroids in a selected system", "Destroy all the ships that are attacking you", and among many others, my personal favorite "Prevent your planet from being destroyed while there's a space concert going on on it".
While you're a small planet you can "pull" asteroids into your orbit, and you can do two things with them. Absorb them to become a Life Planet, or use them as a weapon to smash other planets/ships/systems. If you choose to absorb enough asteroids you turn into a planet that supports life. Life means your planet will produce ships (3 types of ships in total, i think), turrets that fire at anything hostile that comes near the planet and also, your planet will have a shield.
At this point, you can choose to absorb even more asteroids, which will lead you to becoming a small star. Stars, of course, don't support life, so no more ships/turrets/shield. But on the other hand, you can now "pull" planets into your orbit, which is kind of cool. You can also absorb planets to become a medium star and after that a large star.
If you keep absorbing planets, you are eventually going to turn into a black hole. That's when it all ends, you start absorbing everything (except black holes that are bigger than you) until you become so big that you suck in the universe itself. When you do, a new "Big Bang" happens, and the game starts over.
The game is pretty cool, and can take few hours to finish.
Hope i brought some insight into the game, and that you decided to try it out!
Best regards
Miroslav
